Oh really?
So the Rand research position on “Overextending and Unbalancing Russia” is unstated and unsubstantiated to you ?
Perhaps you should give a really big tug and pull your head out.

Well, if you don't know who RAND is and what they do and this is exactly what they do, and who in the gubmint it goes to and who pays for it and why, you are a fool. When RAND writes a report like that and then the US executes that plan there is no conspiracy theory about it. A policy option was present and it was taken.
